Who is your frodo? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Doesn't this one sort of depend on who one is in relation to Frodo? To Samwise he was beloved master; to Saruman he was ruefully respected; to the rest of the Shire (by and large) he was misunderstood and overlooked; to his friends he was the honored wounded hero. He is almost Elvish in his depth of spirit and character, but no Elf (that I can think of) will ever suffer as he does. I don't know anybody in RL like that.
